Hi Amir --

Would you like to see these datasets released publicly or was there a specific project you were interested in using them for?

thanks,

Hi,

Are there metrics about which links in each article are the most clicked?

I can think there's a lot to be learned from it:

* Data-driven suggestions for manual of style about linking (too much and too few links are a perennial topic of argument)

* How do people traverse between topics.

* Which terms in the article may need a short explanation in parentheses rather than just a link.

* How far down into the article do people bother to read.

Anyway, I can think that accessibility to such data can optimize both readership and editing.

And maybe this can be just taken right from the logs, without any additional EventLogging.
